- Benevento, welcome to Detail Garage.
Today in this video, I'm going to show you guys
how to properly maintain your colored,
perforated and regular leather.
Let's get into it.
Today in the shop, we have a Q60S
and honestly it is the perfect candidate
for me to teach you how to properly maintain
and clean perforate leather seat,
colored seat and regular leather.
And a lot of people always ask us
can Leather Cleaner and Leather Conditioner
be used on colored seats and the answer is yes.
So today I'll be showing guys on this Q60S
how to properly clean them using these products.
Before anything, I'm going to get my tape
just so I could give you guys a hard cut line
and you guys can see the before and after,
because like I constantly say in my videos is,
a lot of people get used to how the leather actually looks
once it's dirty and they don't realize
that the leather is actually dirty.
Especially on a two seater like this one,
I'm pretty sure he has a lot of traffic coming
into the passenger seat.
This leather has, I mean, stains everywhere.
There's like little jean stains everywhere.
So today I'll be showing us how to probably clean it.
So on the right side,
I will start cleaning it using Leather Cleaner.
So Leather Cleaner is actually a pH balanced cleaner.
What does that mean?
If you have a coating on your leather,
it will not damage it.
All it's going to do is just pull off any grime
that might be sitting on the surface of the leather.
Before using it, you want to use a Horse Hair Brush.
Why?
Because of bristles on a Horse Hair Detailing Brush
are actually a lot more softer
and they will not scratch your leather
whenever you're scrubbing it.
A lot of people can directly spray it on here,
but you need to keep in mind,
I am working with perforated leather seat.
I do not want to clog up the pores.
I still want my buns to be warm whenever I turn it on.
So this is why we're going to take the easier
and safer way to spray it on,
which is spraying it onto a brush.
Give it a couple sprays onto your brush.
Be generous with it because you do not know when
the last time your leather was clean on this vehicle.
But if you constantly keep cleaning your vehicle,
you will give it like one to three sprays,
and you'll be perfectly fine.
Once they're already on here,
I like going to the non-perforated leather seat
to make sure I get everything out,
and then I'll move on to the perforated leather seat.
Just scrubbing it back and forth.
And you already started seeing this color.
This is red just pops because that's how honestly
the leather I supposed to be looking.
Just massage it back and forth.
And if you need any more Leather Cleaner,
feel free to give it a couple more sprays,
it will not hurt the leather.
I need a couple more, give it some sprays.
And I read your comments.
You guys just said last time, Henry wear gloves.
You're working on interior.
So today I made sure to wear gloves,
to stay protected from anything that might be sitting
on the surface of the vehicle.
So just scrub it back and forth.
I put my brush down and I'll get my microfiber towel
just to wipe off any residue.
So wipe it off.
And lot of people must have already commented
that leather seat is not dirty.
I want to see something dirtier.
Check that out.
That is all body oils, grime, jean stains
that come off from your jeans and onto the leather,
which starts to deceive the look.
If you are working with black color leather
and your leather is shiny or any dark colored car,
not dark colored car, dark colored leather, gray, black,
and your leather is shiny like so,
that means your leather is completely dirty.
Your leather is not supposed to be shiny
it's supposed to be looking matte like so.
So now the leather is clean.
It's time to protect it.
So make sure everything's off, like nothing came off.
I put my towel back up here.
So now it's time to move on to Leather Conditioner.
So Leather Conditioner is a water-based dressing.
What does that mean?
As soon as you apply it, it's going to be dry to a touch,
but it's just not just the water base dressing.
It actually just contains vitamin E and aloe in it.
So that is actually going to restore your leather
and keep it soft and supple, so it won't crack over time
and deceive the look of your vehicle.
Before using it, shake up the product.
You open up the spout, you go to your Microfiber Applicator
and you will give it a line.
So I got it, I need to keep in mind
that I am working with perforate leather seats.
And like I said, I do not want to clog up the pores.
So instead of me just blotching it out,
putting it everywhere, I'm going to get my hand
smeared around the applicator like so,
so I won't have just a big clump in just one area
and I don't over-saturate the area,
because like I said, it is perforated leather seats.
So now it's completely spread into a product.
I would go to the leather and just work it in,
just massage it in.
So Leather Conditioner is a great thing to be added
to your leather, like once every month,
because you need to keep in mind,
how much traffic do you actually get
whenever you're driving?
Personally, I am always driving around.
I am always been around, so this is why
I like to condition the leather
just so I can keep in mind, hey, my leather is clean,
my leather is conditioner conditioned
and it'll not crack over time.
So massage it in.
And just by doing that method,
you do not see a clog pore whatsoever,
it is all evenly spread out.
As soon as already applied, I'll get a microfiber towel
just to buff off any residue.
And I'll wipe it off.
So I'll take off my glove just I can show you guys
that it's not oily whatsoever, it's right a touch,
it's restored and it's protected from the harsh element.
So I'll take out my other glove
and now I'll give you guys a before and after.
You guys can see, that is a crazy before and after.
This is how a leather supposed to be looking,
it's conditioned, it's a bright red,
just how it's supposed to be compared to this one.
This one actually looks whitish
and that deceives the look of the leather,
which can cause permanent damage over time.
I did notice something.
He tried to cleanse his leather, was something right here
and that actually damaged his leather.
So we going to try to restore it and try to get it back
but I mean, if you use harsh chemicals,
it might remove the dye and that's what you do not want.
You want to take the safe route, get your leather clean,
get your leather conditioned
and that would be the perfect thing to do.
